I would definitely do things differently next time!

We had a whole troupe of visitors (uninvited!) come through on the day my DD was born. we were both exhausted trying to establish feeding and recover from the labour and it was just arduous. my DH was so excited though and kept telling people that it was ok.

He even brought his best mate in only 3 hours after DD was born!! i was so not impressed!

Next time around i would have a very firm 24 hour policy.

Another thing that i found tricky was that people would stay the whole visiting time. it was very tiring and we found that there wasnt that much time for our family to get to know bubs one on one IYKWIM.

There is plenty of time for people to visit you once you are out of hospital. it is a much more welcome time as well as in those first weeks you might be lucky enough to have your DP or DH around to help manage the visitors.

Good luck with everything! your ticker is on the fast track to 40 weeks now!
